User coordinates

[Anonymous]

Hello everyone,,,

In Autocad it is possible to create a user coordinate system, alinged to an existing object.

I Autocad the commands are (were) UCS, 3P ...

It works by picking 3 points on an existing object : X, Y and Z

Does 3DS MAX have any similar option?

I searched all of the tutorials, but can not find a solution.

Thanks for your help!

The closest option Max has to the AutoCAD UCS is the Grid Helper object.  Also see this tutorial.

Create a grid helper and then use Tools, Align or Move and Rotate to position and orient it as you wish.  Don't forget to activate it.
